Red, White and New
Some holidays aren’t obvious choices for costuming. In mid June this year when I found this flag fabric for $1.50 a yard I was immediately inspired to make a dress to wear for the 4th of July. A fun and bold outfit for only about $5 was an irresitable prospect.
I decided to drape the dress right on my dress form in the fabric (ala Project Runway). I’ve had my dress form about a year but haven’t had the time to use it much. However, at $5 what did I have to lose? The end result is just lovely especially given it was a first try at making such a thing without a pattern.
